36 Inch Air Knife Blow-Off Systems from Nex Flow

The 36 Inch Air-Blade Air Knife Model 10036 Blow Off System from Nex Flow is easy to mount and maintain and reduces both compressed air consumption and noise levels.

The 36 Inch Stainless Steel Air-Blade Air Knife Model 10036S Blow Off System from Nex Flow produces a laminar flow of air along its length using the Coanda effect which entrains a large volume of air from the surrounding area along with the small amount of compressed air from the Air-Blade to produce an output flow up to 30 times.

Air-Blade Air Knife Blow Off System payback on compressed air savings can be as soon as a few weeks in some applications.

Nex Flow Mounting Systems for air knives and air amplifiers provide a convenient and flexible way to utilize the products for blow-off and cooling applications.

36 Inch Air-Blade Air Knife Features:

The low cost air knives are rugged with a multiple port design for mounting flexibility. It is coated for longer life compared to competitive products that advertise a full flowing air knife type of system.

It is made of a coated aluminum body and hard-coated cap.

Stainless steel models are available for high temperature and corrosive applications.

The multiple air inlet ports at the back ends in a compact design with additional mounting holes.

Airflow amplification is approximately 30:1 compared to 3:1 for drilled pipe or open jets and tubes.

There is instant on-off mechanism with no moving parts. There are no electricity or explosion hazards.

36 Inch Air-Blade Air KnifeBenefits:

It is built and designed for significantly longer life in difficult environments compared to competing products.

There are flexible mounting options and can easily fit in small spaces.

Energy reduction in compressed air can use up to 90% and noise reductions of 10 DBA.

It is maintenance-free. The output is easily controlled and safe to use.

Also available in 3, 6, 8", 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 lengths as standard they can also be coupled together using a coupling kit for longer spans.

Compressed air enters the air knife at the rear (or end) ports at (A). Air is entrained at point (B) by the compressed air stream that leaves the air knife from a small gap. The entrained air follows the coanda profile and along the front face (C) that directs the airflow in a perfect straight line at 90 degrees to create a uniform sheet of air along the entire length of the Air Blade TM air knife at it leaves the air knife at point (D). The amplified air stream maximized velocity and force is maximized as a well-defined sheet of laminar flow with minimal wind shear for reduced energy use in blow off and cooling.

Air Knife, Stainless Steel Air Knife, Air-Blade Air Knife Blow Off System from Nex Flow produces a curtain of air along the length of the application using the same "Coanda" effect utilized in our Air Amplifiers. There are no moving parts, with compressed air from a local production line source being used to amplify end entrain surrounding air. Output volumes almost twenty times higher than those at the input can be achieved.

Offered in aluminum or stainless steel and can be manufactured in any length from a combination of our standard sizes.

36 Inch Air Blade Air Knife Applications

Typical applications replace drilled pipe, or rows of nozzles used for blow-off, cleaning, drying or cooling.

Automotive
Remove water, coolant, dust, and scrap in parts manufacturing and in assembly operations.
Can be used to cool parts.

Bottling
Blow off of water prior to labeling, palletizing or packaging. Moving light materials.
Open and close packaging lids or tops.

Chemicals
Blow off of chemicals or water prior to labeling or packaging as with bottling operations.

Food Remove water from product or packaging. Control application of some materials to the food product such as sugar, icing etc. Open pouches in bagging operations. Dry food.

General Manufacturing Part ejection, air curtain barrier, dust and liquid blow off from all types of parts.
Ideal for replacing fans in some cooling operations.

Metals
Coolant and other liquid removal on process lines from Aluminum, Steel, Brass or other materials. Dry metals prior to other operations such as plating or polishing. Cool metal parts prior to coating or painting.

(Extra Middle mounting hole only on the 36" Air-Blade� 457mm from each end)

Air-Blade Air Knife comes with a standard machined .002" outlet gap which will work for 90% of all applications encountered. If greater force is required, a .002" shim may be installed to open the gap for greater flow. Materials of construction are either coated aluminum or stainless steel.
